On May 12, 2025, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “Articles Amendment”) to its Articles with the office of the Nevada Secretary of State to add a new paragraph 4 to Article XII of the Articles to provide that to the fullest extent not inconsistent with any applicable U.S. federal laws, any and all “internal actions” (as defined in Nevada Revised Statutes 78.046) must be tried in a court of competent jurisdiction before the presiding judge as a trier of fact and not before a jury. The Articles Amendment was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting and became effective upon the filing and effectiveness of a certificate of amendment in the office of the Nevada Secretary of State setting forth the Articles Amendment.
The section of the Company’s definitive proxy statement relating to the Annual Meeting, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 26, 2026, entitled “Proposal 5—The Articles Amendment Proposal” is incorporated herein by reference. Such section is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Articles Amendment, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
